Answer:

x=7, -2.

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2-5x=14

x^2-5x-14=0

factor out the trinomial,

(x-7)(x+2)=0

zero property,

x-7=0, x+2=0,

x=0+7=7,

x=0-2=-2

Answer:

x = - 2, x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x² - 5x = 14 ( subtract 14 from both sides )

x² - 5x - 14 = 0 ← in standard form

Consider the factors of the constant term (- 14) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (- 5)

The factors are - 7 and + 2, since

- 7 × 2 = - 14 and - 7 + 2 = - 5, thus

(x - 7)(x + 2) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 2 = 0 ⇒ x = - 2

x - 7 = 0 ⇒ x = 7

Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

60 minutes for the larger hose to fill the swimming pool by itself

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

Working together, it takes two different sized hoses 20 minutes to fill a small swimming pool.

takes 30 minutes for the larger hose to fill the swimming pool by itself

Let x be the efficiency to fill the swimming pool by larger hose

and y be the efficiency to fill the swimming pool by larger hose

<u>To find LCM of 20 and 30</u>

LCM (20, 30) = 60

<u>To find the efficiency </u>

Let x be the efficiency to fill the swimming pool by larger hose

and y be the efficiency to fill the swimming pool by larger hose

x = 60/30 =2

x + y = 60 /20 = 3

Therefore efficiency of y = (x + y) - x =3 - 2 = 1

so, time taken to fill the swimming pool by small hose = 60/1 = 60 minutes

Witch multiples of 24 are not factors of 24
Nataly [62]

Answer:

A factor of 24 is a number that can be multilied by another number (normally whole (not fraction or decimal) numbers) so a factor must be less than the number any multiple of 2 greater than 24 will work so just any even number greater than 24 exg 26,28,30,32,34,36,38,40,42,44,46,48,50,52,54,56,58,60, and so on.

Diego inicia un viaje por carretera de 12 horas con la batería de su teléfono al 75%. Dado su uso normal, ¿su teléfono durará to
faltersainse [42]

Based on Diego's normal usage of his phone, if the battery is at 75%, the phone will not last the whole trip.

<h3>How long will the phone battery last?</h3>

First find out how long each percentage of battery life lasts:

= 15 / 100

= 0.15 hours

If Diego is going on a 12 hour trip with 75%, the length of time it would last is:

= 0.15 x 75

= 11.25 hours

This is less than the 12 hours required so the phone will not last the whole trip.

Rest of question:

At 100%, the battery can go for 15 hours.
